The New York Star gives the
s'true inwardness" of the alleged In
dian trouble as follows:
The simple truth of the matter is
that the Indians are much more sin
ned against than SHINING, and that, il
the government would protect them
against the rapacity and violence OF
the whites, they might become good
and useful citizens. They are in ev
cry sense wards of the nation. Nor
ally speaking they are prisoners. The
government has entered into certain
obligations, and it has, on its part
,exacted certain things of them. The
Indians are required to remain with
in definite boundaries, and the gov
eminent is pledged to give them pro
lection therein. Under Republican
rule these pledges have not been
scrupulously fulfilled. The Indians
have been held to rigid observance
of their part of the compact, and the
slightest deviation summary pun
ished, but they have been usually left
to the mercies of adventurers and
freebooters, and have at no time felt
secure in the enjoyment of their
promised privileges. We believe
that the present outbreak was the
result of deliberate provocation by
the whites.
Humane people throughout the
country will thank the administration
for the just and honest policy that
has been set on foot. 1t Is at least
worth while to ascertain whether the
Indians will behave themselves prop
erly, and the only way to do that is
to give them an opportunity. This
opportunity the President seems de-
termined to afford.

Want the Indian Lands.

The gist of the whole Ute trouble
is that Caucasian cupidity wants to
get hold Of the Indians lands For
the last ten years there has always
been some excuse on the part of the
white settlers to irritate the Indians
and stir them up TO commit some act
to call down upon them an exercise Of
federal OF state power. 1t Is the old
story, wronging the aboriginal red
man through the duplicity, hypocrisy
and dishonesty Of the pale face-nOt
unfreqnently concealed under the
cloak Of Christian charity. After the
whites get all the poor Indian has, It
is doubtful IL the pale face VIII even

The BALLAST Galveston News is fig.
uring in new role. II il demand:
ing that the Methodist church repu-
date editor Briggs OF tho Christian
Advocate, because OF various un-
christian acts ~ alleged by the News.
Really We had not expected 10 find
the News thus sounding the
"Pulpit drum.oc cleaiastic."
But Brothe, Briggsis "game," and
responds by defying tho News, and
on his part appealing TO all Christian
people 10 withdraw their patronage
from it. The Baptist Herald takes
sides with the Advocate. and the
News, nothing daunted, expresses its
readiness TO meet and demolish a
"pen full Of preachers" All OF this
trouble grew out q the agitation Of
prohibition. One weak point would
seem TO lie in tho course of the News
in thus repelling the thinking and
reading class Of people, who are the
Jest patrons Of newspapers, the anti
hosts, as is we'll known, not being
noted in that direction. 1t looks
very much like the News was still
looking for material aid and comfort
outside OF the ordinary channels Of
journalistic patronage. If 30 we
trust it will ultimately realize its
mistake, and be glad to assume the
normal position Of great newspaper
by voicing the sentiments and aspi-
rations OF the solid, sober, thinking
people of the State, and looking to
them instead of pernicious class in
terests and monopolies and con-
glomeration Of ignorant and unprin-
cipled elements for support.

Thus Justly speaks the Columbus

sentative editors from all parts of the

ment was natural and beneficial.
But after the Exposition it soon de-
generated into the thing so well
described by the Citizen. The great
majority who attend now we believe
do not represent the business

of the press. 1t is to be hoped that

its millions, while the laborers can
barely make a comfortable support
for their families. The laborer pro-

directly into the hands Of the mon

Reagan's Truthful Report and the Wrath
1t Excited.

| Prohibition was defeated by the
votes of the negroes, Germans and
Mexicans. The larger the prepond
erance of the negro voters in coun.
ty, as a rule the larger is the anti
prohibition vote. The Mexican
counties on and near the Rio Grande
cast nearly solid votes against prohi.
bitior. San Antonio, three-fourths
of her population being Germans,
Mexicans and negroes, voted almost
solid against prohibition. Undoubt-
eddy o majority of the native Ameri-
cans and of the Democrats of Texas
have voted for prohibition. Our de-
feat was caused largely by great sums
of money sent here from other States
by the manufacturers of and dealers
in whisky and beer, to pay speakers,
to control newspapers and for gener-
al campaign purposes. The prohi-
bitionists have had the advantage
in the discussions and have given the
public information which I think will
make this a prohibition State in the
near future. And I think the prohi-
bitionists will continue the struggle
as non-partisan issue.
The above is the report made by
Senator Reagan soon after the cleo
ton to The Voice, leading prohi-
bition paper of New York. Every
candid mind will recognize in it a
simple statement of fact. Yet for
making and publishing it, the writer
has been most severely rebuked by
the anti-prohibition press of the
State, and especially the Galveston
Dallas News. Their special objec-
ton is to this sentence:
Our defeat was caused by great
sums of money sent here from other
States by the manufacturers of and
dealers in whisky and beer, to pay
speakers, to control newspapers and
for general campaign purposes.
Right here is where the shoe
pinches. All thinking men know in
reason that tho statement is true,
but this general opinion of common
folks, the important culprits could af-
ford to disregard. But when man
of the high character and holding
the position of Mr.. Reagan makes
the charge 1t hurts, and it is no Won
der it is causing squirming. In the
name of common sense what would
they have? Did they suppose that
man like Mr.. Reagan would hedge
and fence like an ordinary witness in
prosecution against o saloon-keeper,
and in the direct face of the facts
keep silent or pretend ignorance?
Does anybody doubt that the leading
anti speakers and newspapers were
not well paid by the great interests
they served, or that they would trav-
erse the State making speeches in
midsummer without pay? The idea
is preposterous, and their affectation
Of wounded honor at the charge ri
diculous. John H. Reagan drives
straight at the truth, the truth from
such as he hurts, and that is just
what is the matter with his virtuous-
ly indignant assailants.

negro was under obligation to take
care and provide for him in sickness
and old age; but the white slave has
TO bear his own expenses. The negro
is placed on equality in law with the
white man, and his vote counts as
much as any mans vote, but a ma
jority OF them feel 80 little interest
in the government that he can be
biased TO vote TO suit the man that
treats him TO the most whisky. But
we have q great many refined and
intelligent men in the country that
will not resort TO that means TO secure
their election, and some will not
permit their name to be used as O
candidate for an office or place Of
trust. The Offices and places Of trust
should be filed by the best men OF
tho country, but under the present
circumstance it is out of the question
to elect them. The evil is growing
continually, and if there is not some
means devised to arrest its progress,
we will soon drift into disorder and
anarchy, and then woe to this great
republic.
This is a matter that requires the
most serious consideration of every
man, woman, and child in America.
Every man should look the matter
squarely in the face and ask himself if
it is not important to make reform
alton before we drift farther into the
current that leads us TO destruction.
There is too much inducement in this
country for Office. 1t prompts men
to resort to means to secure their
election that they would be ashamed
of under other circumstances. If the
salaries and fees were not 30 extrava-
giant they could not afford to spend
money SO lavishly to secure an office.
But some people say that if the pay
was not very liberal that men COM
petent to perform the duties of the
office would not accept the office. 1t
is not the salary that makes officers
efficient, but it is the large salary that
elects him, and it is these large sal
aries that help to crush the poor
farmer by taxing him to pay these
large salaries. The failure in crops
and low prices does not reduce the
salaries and fees of officers one cent,
but the tax must come.
This article Is not intended to sug-
gest any remedy, but to direct peo-
pies minds to the subject and let
them study it seriously and suggest
such remedies as they think best.
The oppression of the farmers has
become intolerable, and they are
prompted to seek relief by honest,
just, and peaceful means through the
ballot.box, and probably they will re,
ceive o part of the floating vote with
out the aid of whisky, as they are
directly interested in the labor move
ment. Most of them are farmers,
and all farmers are interested alike in
any movement that will relieve them
of the burden they are laboring un-
der. I. G..

Real American CommunlstA

The Zoarites are q very peculiar
people, who live in Ohio and hold their
property In common. They are as old
as the Shakers or the Oneida Com
munity. Their views of property are
much the same as those bodies hold,
but their practices as to married life
are different.
Their community had its origin about
seventy five years ago in Wurtemburg,
Germany. For a good while after the
colony came to this country marriage
was considered an irregularity. The
cholera of 1882 made hightful ravages
among them They then began to con-
slider the propriety of marriage. They
esteemed it wrong to go outside and
contract marriages among the worlds
people, and 30 they married among
themselves.
They are now the largest and most
prosperous communistic society in
the United States, and are exceedingly
thrifty in their business affairs. They
own ten or twelve thousand acres of
land, and are superior farmers and
millers. They believs in a millennium
of peace and glory, prior to which the
Gospel will be preached all over the
world. Their religious services are
much the same as those of the leading
Protestant denominations

Drinking Cider for n Wager.

The men sat down and the bottles

visit, but In an almost incredible length
OF time heard Joslyn say to the boy:

"Ten mir tes elapsed and 1 heard that

"The farmer protested, and offered to
pay for the four quarts II the Judge
would declare it a draw and say nothing
about It.

the order.
II looked at him and he winked q

and drank his fifth pint at the end OF

The Cave Of Wa and Peace.

Away down in the southwest OF Nevada
there is a remarkable cave in the side OF
the mountains. Near by little rill OF
water pours down the slope, soon To be
swallowed up by the thirsty soil. The
broken-off shafts OF arrows are TO bs
seen sticking In the soft rock that con
stitutes the roof of the cathedral-like
dome.
1t is said that many years ago a party
of the race of Shoshones were driven
into this cave 10y their hereditary enc
mics, the Piutes. Their defence was SO
stubborn that the Piutes proposed a
peace, and in this cave the council was
called, and the peace made was to last
so long a a single arrow remained i'm
bedded in the rock overhead.
